A front-row view of the Rideau Canal, magnificent 1930s architecture and a renovation of extraordinary quality distinguish this landmark Old Ottawa South home. Overlooking the Canal and the beautiful expanse of NCC parkland, the home occupies one of Ottawa's most desirable settings. Extensively renovated by one of the city's most respected builders, it retains the elegance and architectural character of its era while offering the finest in contemporary living. The elegant foyer and gracious principal rooms offer soaring 10-foot ceilings, a spectacular fireplace, opulent Waterford crystal chandelier, and picturesque parkland and Canal views. The beautifully designed Design First kitchen features heated floors and premium Miele and Wolf appliances, while the sun-filled breakfast room opens to a private south-facing terrace. There is also a wonderful family room and a pretty powder room on the main floor. The second-floor features two bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, including the luxurious primary suite with a spa-inspired bathroom and exquisite custom walk-in closet. The richly wood-panelled library with gas fireplace adds to the home's architectural appeal, and this could easily convert to a third bedroom on this level. A cleverly concealed room within the library is roughed in for water, allowing the potential for additional functionality. The third floor provides another bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom - or fantastic family room - ideal for family or guests. Beautifully landscaped, low maintenance gardens and a double attached garage complete this remarkable property, where historic architecture, outstanding craftsmanship and an extraordinary setting come together. Live in one of Ottawa's true Dream Properties!
